DeadTech Community Project (BV2 update!)

[wolfmcbeard]

                                                                                  

After a year of delays I am proud to present DeadTech, This wad is shooting for both Doom 3 and Doom 64 in look and atmosphere and Doom 64 with the enemies and weapons courtesy of @Immorpher's Morph 64 mod and awesome textures from @ukiro's Otex.

This is a current beta version so you may encounter bugs or other issues not found in prior testing

Maps may vary a bit visually or in terms of gameplay, some being more simple while some being quite modern in style, I wanted people to have an opportunity to do what they felt fit the three themes, Techbase, Hellbase, and Helltech, while staying true to the inspirations of the project and the result is 14 maps that are a blast to play through and action that may leave you hungering for more as you fight your way through collapsing corridors and hellish facilities to obliterate the demonic horde.

Due to the events of the last year and a half that effected myself and the participants, the project was delayed from release for a year, but gave an opportunity to get things nice and spiffy and we hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor.

BUG Map10 is severely broken! will be fixed in BV3

The Important Bits
iwad Doom II
Port GZDoom (Version 4.6.1 recommended)

Hot damn it's finally out! This is an absolutely gorgeous mapset with gameplay to match. So cool to see this out in public. This is a must play.

[Major Arlene]

YES! So excited to see this released- working with the Doom 64 assets was a great learning experience and I had a lot of fun working outside of my comfort zone with this set.

[jazzmaster9]

This looks amazing. will definitely be trying this out when i can :D

[Biodegradable]

It's here! It's finally HERE!

[Walter confetti]

[Snark]

Wow! 185 megs... gonna spend the night thinking which porn videos I should delete...

[El Juancho]

[PeterMoro]

[Steve D]

This looks utterly scrumptious. Downloaded. Will play soon.

[Terminus]

Congrats on the release! I'm really glad to see this finally out, been eyeing this project for a while. Can't wait to try this!

Grats on pushing this baby out.

It's spicy but fair. Absolutely in love with it Padre.

I'd imagine no.  At least I'm not alone in experiencing this issue, though.

 

[Rudolph]

I admit, it took me a moment to realize that this mapset is for vanilla Doom and not Doom 64: Retribution. 

 

Anyway, good to see reworked sprites. I have not gotten very far, but MAP02 makes me wish this mapset could feature a flashlight!

Well that's new, I haven't even encountered that, nor do I think anyone else has till now.
I currently have a list of thing to look into and this will certainly be going on there.
Thank you for pointing this out to us.
 

[Immorpher]

We've fixed most of the bugs people have found, just another one to tackle before an updated beta is out. :)

[Doritos420]

This looks incredible.

[wolfmcbeard]

BV2 is now ready for your consumption, changelog in the op, as well as the new zip.

[Rudolph]

Wait a minute, is the Unmaker bound to a key?

 

I have just noticed that you can get it by telefragging the Cyberdemon in MAP01, but I cannot find the key to select the weapon again.

Indeed, bound to 8.

Here is the full bind list...
Player.WeaponSlot 1, 64Fist, 64Chainsaw
Player.WeaponSlot 2, 64Pistol
Player.WeaponSlot 3, 64Shotgun, 64SuperShotgun
Player.WeaponSlot 4, 64Chaingun
Player.WeaponSlot 5, 64RocketLauncher
Player.WeaponSlot 6, 64PlasmaGun
Player.WeaponSlot 7, 64BFG9000
Player.WeaponSlot 8, 64Unmaker

[Rudolph]

@wolfmcbeard Tried again: I get the Unmaker that the Cyberdemon drops, the weapon gets raised, but immediately gets lowered when I try to shoot with it and I cannot select it again. I assume it uses the "Corrupted Matter" the Demons drop as ammo, but even then, I just cannot seem to be able to use the weapon in MAP01.

 

Is this on purpose?

Not sure, it will be added to the list, I know the unmaker was working at least.
I will consult with @Immorpher further on the issue.

[Dusty_Rhodes]

This looks incredible, great work guys!

[Biodegradable]

Here's part 1 of my playthrough. So far, really strong first impression. I adore the lighting, the new animations on the 64 weapons are superb and MAN I was not expecting the first map to be so goddamn mean. @Aquila Chrysaetos was that your doing? Feels like the kind of thing you'd do, young lady. If not? Whoever made that map: You're a bastard ;^P lmao. A moody and malevolent start for sure. Also, what does Corrupted Matter do?

It's the ammo for the unmaker, freshly killed demons drop it.
